The Xinglongwa culture 6200 BC 6200 5400 BC was a Neolithic culture in northeastern China , found mainly around the Inner Mongolia Liaoning border. Xinglongwa pottery was primarily cylindrical, and baked at low temperatures. The Xinglongwa culture showed several signs of communal planning. At three Xinglongwa sites, houses were built in rows. Several Xinglongwa sites also featured a large central building. In addition, several Xinglongwa sites were surrounded by ditches. The type site at Xinglongwa is located on the southwest side of a hill at Aohan Banner , Chifeng , Inner Mongolia the site is named after a village 1.3 km to the southeast of the site. 120 pit house s were discovered at Xinglongwa. Each home had a hearth at its center. Xinglongwa also featured a large building in the center of the village. Xinglongwa is the earliest discovered site in China to be surrounded by a ditch. Xinglongwa also featured an unusual burial custom, as some bodies were buried directly under the houses. Like other Xinglongwa sites, jade objects were also discovered. In the most lavish grave, a man was buried with a pair of pigs, as well as jade objects. The recently discovered site at Xinglonggou is the only site of the culture to show evidence of any sort of agriculture , with evidence of millet remains.

The primary site was discovered at Erligang, just outside of the modern city of Zhengzhou , Henan , in 1951. Many Chinese archaeologists believe that Zhengzhou was the site of an early Shang Dynasty Shang capital, equating the Erligang culture with an early stage of the Shang Dynasty. Most Western scholars, however, have refrained from adopting this view, because unlike the later Anyang settlement, no written records have been found at Erligang to link the archaeological remains with the official history. The city was surrounded by a large wall with a circumference of almost 7 km. Large workshops were located outside of the city walls, including a bone workshop, a pottery workshop and two ... excavations impossible. Therefore, most of the information about the Erligang culture comes from studying other Erligang sites. The Erligang culture was centered in the Yellow River valley.

The culture existed from 4100 BC to 2600 BC , co existing with the Yangshao culture . Turquoise , jade and ivory artefacts are commonly found at Dawenkou sites. The earliest examples of alligator drums appear at Dawenkou sites. Archaeologists commonly divide the culture into three phases the early phase 4100 3500 BC , the middle phase 3500 3000 BC and the late phase 3000 2600 BC . Based on the evidence from grave goods, the early phase was highly egalitarian. The phase is typified by the presence of individually designed, long stemmed cups gu . Graves built with earthen ledges became increasingly common during the latter parts of the early phase. During the middle phase, grave goods began to emphasize quantity over diversity. During the late phase, wooden coffins began to appear in Dawenkou burials. The culture became increasingly stratified, as some graves contained no grave goods while others contained a large quantity of grave goods. The type site at Dawenkou, located in Tai an , Shandong, was excavated in 1959, 1974 and 1978. Only the middle layer at Dawenkou is associated with the Dawenkou culture, as the earliest layer corresponds to the Beixin culture and the latest layer corresponds to the early Shandong variant of the Longshan culture .
